Abstract

A computer-implemented method for generating ground-truth for natural language querying may include providing a knowledge graph as data model, receiving a natural language query from a user and translating the natural language query into a formal data query. The method can also include visualizing the formal data query to the user and receiving a feedback response from the user. The feedback response can include a verified and/or edited formal data query. The method can also include storing the natural language query and the corresponding feedback response as ground-truth pair. Corresponding system and a related computer program product may be provided.
